Best time to visit Huntsville

October is the best month in Huntsville, scoring 81 out of 100, with July the weakest at 43. The 38-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. Only 3 months come close to the top, which makes the timing narrow.

August is the warmest month at 32.8 °C and January the coolest at 9.6 °C — a 23.2 °C spread across the year. Around 90 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in August and the months either side. 59 nights a year dip below freezing.

There is a real wet season here. July carries the rain — up to 18 wet days in a month — while January, September, October and November drop as low as 9. That 9-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Huntsville, and it moves further than the temperature does.

Daylight runs from 9.8 hours in winter to 14.5 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

The three strongest months are October, April, May. The one to think twice about is July. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
